Clinical Pharmacology:
Clinical pharmacology meclizine hcl is an antihistamine that shows marked protective activity against nebulized histamine and lethal doses of intravenously injected histamine in guinea pigs. it has a marked effect in blocking the vasodepressor response to histamine, but only a slight blocking action against acetylcholine. its activity is relatively weak in inhibiting the spasmogenic action of histamine on isolated guinea pig ileum. pharmacokinetics the available pharmacokinetic information for meclizine following oral administration has been summarized from published literature. absorption meclizine is absorbed after oral administration with maximum plasma concentrations reaching at a median t max value of 3 hours post-dose (range: 1.5 to 6 hours) for the tablet dosage form. distribution drug distribution characteristics for meclizine in humans are unknown. metabolism the metabolic fate of meclizine in humans is unknown. in an in vitro metabolic study using human hepatic microsome and
